It was my impression that the mobs that are quest related give rep until revered. I could be wrong.

what quest? we are talking about the new shado pan assault fraction, and you will only be able to gain rep from The new raid instance boss kills will give rep, but was wondering if trash did as well, though i doubt it.

When I was PTR LFR the other weekend (first quarter), each trash mob increased the Shado Pan Assault reputation by 30 at neutral (each boss 300 I guess) which led to a discussion in the raid chat about trash farming.
But this was one week ago, so it might be patched or capped.

Am kinda thinking at least as fire and frost, people might wanna skip the neck if we get to friendly the first week, so you can buy both the trinket and the ring the first week.. followed by bracers or neck the next..

Gear and item upgrades will vary person to person but it's pretty much guaranteed to be the trinket and something else.

Also bracers, neck and ring are all 1250 VP. Only the trinket is 1750 from the neutral/friendly gear. Not much of a difference but it means people who are capped at 2500 will still be able to get all 4 pieces of gear in 3 weeks after 5.2's release.

Here's a little chart I made showing roughly what gear drops from each boss:ToT Mage Gear Distribution
I find it quite useful so maybe someone else will too

Ok, so I just skimmed this post. You could get a farm group and do trash to friendly without overcapping valor?

In that case, you could definitely hit friendly and buy the trinket and ring first week with bracer second?

Thanks in advance,

Yes. There's only so much trash before the first boss so I don't know how long it would take since the 5 instances per hour would be limiting. Make sure everyone has +15% guild banners since they will probably work.

I'm not sure if valor you earn at 3k will count towards your cap that week. I hope not. Bosses do give 375 rep each (guild perk + 15% banner).
